Actualy not a

$insideObject = {

    $propertyOne   = '1111';

    $propertyTwo   = '2222';

    $propertyThree = '3333';

    $propertyFour  = '4444';

}



it seems like store data to object, but only few properties neccesary to
set:



$insideObject->{

    $propertyOne   = '1111';

    $propertyTwo   = '2222';

    $propertyThree = '3333';

    $propertyFour  = '4444';

}

Description:
------------
Background: Wery often set plenty of properties together is necessary.

So, for traditional way it is requre many of copy-paste action and
produce much of code.

Actualy, excellent way for that - short syntax of class property
settings.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Unliked case:

$myLongNameObject = new MyLongNameObject();

$myLongNameObject->property1 = '11111';

$myLongNameObject->property2 = '22222';

$myLongNameObject->property3 = '33333';

$myLongNameObject->property4 = '44444';

$myLongNameObject->property5 = '55555';

...



Match worse (sometime necessary):

$myLongNameObject = new MyLongNameObject(); // Proxy pattern

$myLongNameObject->insideObject->propertyOne   = '1111';

$myLongNameObject->insideObject->propertyTwo   = '2222';

$myLongNameObject->insideObject->propertyThree = '3334';

$myLongNameObject->insideObject->propertyFour  = '4444';

...





Expected result:
----------------
More likely way:



$MyLongNameObject = new MyLongNameObject() {

    $property1 = '1111';

    $property2 = '2222';

    $property3 = '4444';

    $property4 = '5555';

}



Or:



$MyLongNameObject = new MyLongNameObject() {

    $insideObject = {

        $propertyOne   = '1111';

        $propertyTwo   = '2222';

        $propertyThree = '3333';

        $propertyFour  = '4444';

    }

}



Something like this looks better :)

Actual result:
--------------
Now i use array and class constructor for avoid plenty of code:



$MyLongNameObject = new MyLongNameObject( array(

    'property1' = '1111',

    'property2' = '2222',

    'property3' = '3333',

    'property4' = '4444'

));



But, has many complications:

- Cannot initialize properties of nested object

- Reduce productivity

- Cannot work with IDE Code Completion like in PhpEd, NetBeans,
Eclipse....

- Don't work with already initialized object.
